Is there a way to customize comm manager (change from 6 button to 10 or change the buttons--replace data connection with 3G) other than using Advanced Config. I can do it through Advanced Config but wondered whether there was another way to do it on the fly that I am missing. Thx.
Did you try looking into the stickied thread at the top of the forum that has all the cab files??
There's a 10 buttom comm manager right there.
I know. I am looking for a utility that switches from the 10 to the 6 or changes the order of the buttons on the 10 or 6. Maybe I am not explaining it well enough ....
Why would you want to change between the two? The 10 button has it all, including disabling data connection and 3G?
Aesthetics. The 6 button on/off looks good with certain themes/roms. Not a huge issue. I guess not a big demand for it.
If you use Kaiser Tweak you can customize the Comm Manager (doesn't change from 6 to 10 buttons or vice versa) but you can re-order the buttons. Give it a shot.
Got it. Thanks.
... Is there anyone that found a way to make the 10-buttons CommManager "dpad-friendly" ?
It's so annoying : you can navigate the homepage of your PDA with the dpad, and then start the commmanager... and there : you're stuck !
Have to touch the screen to choose any of the items (wireless, data, bluetooth...)

Yeah, because it's SUCH a pain to point your finger at the screen and push.
Wow, it's amazing the things people complain about.
If I took your logic, I would ask why Kaiser has a hard-keyboard ? It's so easy for ppl to press the screen
...
I have the aluminum case, and the screen is behind a hardglass !
So you can give a try if you want... but I'd bet your won't even bend the glass.
You didn't say you had a hard case, did ya? I don't have one and I don't know anyone that does. Everyone I know uses the stylus on the screen, just like it's supposed to be used.
Just use AEB to assign a hardkey, I use the windoz logo key, double press toggles BT power, tripple toggles WiFi. You get the picture.
I'll give a try to AEB (my Win button is already reassigned, same for the camera button which triggers the CommMgr...)

Like I said, why would people buy a phone with real keyboard, as there's already onscreen keyboard... That's exactly same scenario.
My question was not about "how could I reeducate myself", but how to turn this smartphone into something even smarter...
Even the ComMgr on the HTC Tornado can be manager from the joystick... (running WM5)
So it's a shame if HTC did remove this so simple thing as focus-ordered buttons...

You bought it, didn't you? Why did you buy it? I'll tell you why - it's one thing to have an on screen keyboard, it's a totally different thing to have a real, tactile keyboard with real keys to give your fingers feedback. You're comparing apples and oranges. Your logic doesn't fly with me, sorry. You can't touch-type with an on screen keyboard (i.e. type by feel).

WOW. You have been nothing but a condescending prick in every one of you posts on this thread. Sorry you don't like the new kids on your block asking questions. If you don't want to contribute anything in an amicable manner, please, leave us to cry in the corner.

LOL. Thanks for the laugh. You made my night.
The OP had a question, and I answered it. If it's not what he was looking for, then he should learn how to phrase his questions in a better way.
I don't apologize for my wording. I am short and to the point.
Lastly, some people will complain about anything and everything. You can't help that or change that.
Ok fine, so you're apparently upset about people asking for tips & tricks... Then I assume your Kaiser was just perfect as-is right ?
(...so I guess you kept the stock ROM untouched, and didnt apply any of the great XDA-dev patches/fixes then)
Anyone with a more constructive feedback, like maybe importing the CommMgr of a different HTC pdaphone ?
I have the Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM. It does everything I need it to. I have, however, applied many of the tweaks and fixes available here. I ask very few questions and do LOTS of reading. I read almost every thread in this forum looking for little tweaks to make my phone even better than it already is.
I have no problems with people asking questions. That is what this forum is for. What bugs me is people who post the same question over and over without reading ANYTHING. (not that I was referring to you)
I was trying to be a little sarcastic with my first reply, but I guess you took it the wrong way.
So then, if you said I was posting without reading anything ...
Do you mean you were able to find a way ? (finaly we'll get something constructive)
I am not really new to XDA-dev, so I know how searching the place works...
Unfortunately, neither the 6buttons nor the 10buttons CommMgr is able to do (apparently) what I'm trying to get.
Hence the post...
Well I highly doubt that you will be able to switch between the 6 and 10 buttom comm mgr. They are both cab installs and require a SR after install.
What about RemE's suggestion? Did you try that? You could also remap the PTT button.
P.S. I wasn't referring to you when I said people don't read before posting.
Well i have lurked for a while but finally posted as i am really struggling. I have a orange branded kaiser tilt, i have installed,Home Customizer and swapped the clock but everything else is still above me,there a couple of things id like help with if anyone can preferably free as i am kinda skint after buying my kaiser >< ? Listed below many thanks:
On the main kaiser screen i have got contacts and calendar i want to get rid of calendar and swap it for something else is this possible ? .
A good wifi app that will show me unsecured hot spots that i can jump onto when out and about ? Just installed WIFIFOFUM2 but it doesn't allow you to connect the the hot spots ?
A method of swapping the kaiser menu so that the 4 square thing were you can put your fav contacts to something else or make it so when i click it it brings up the text or call thing instead of just ringing them ?.
And anyone got any other suggestions of apps i should install ? id like to totally customize my home screen but i am really not sure on how to do it ?
I know most of these questions have probably been asked before but i struggled to find them in search so any help appreciated many thanks
You have got to be kidding! Everything you asked has been repeatedly asked and answered. Why do some many of you people think you have just asked the most original, brilliant question. Search some more. Read and be educated. Stop being such a lazy a$$.
I fully understand your anger but its what to put into the search box to bring up the result i am after that is what i am having difficulties with anyone care to enlighten me ?
I'm not angry at all. Just perplexed at the lazy people who come on the forum and ask the same questions over and over again.
Use the link in my signature, below. It is a better way to search the site. Then get creative in your search terms.
For example, if you want to know about changing the calendar then type in terms like- replace calendar bottom of screen- and you will get this, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=replace+calendar+bottom+of+screen&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images
Try that a little and I am sure will get the knack for it.
Of course, please read the stickies and the Wikis.

1. Schaps advanced config<< look in the link in my sig.
2. wififofum << put that in your search and you'll find it.
The new iPhone is out and I think it might be a perfect fit for you. Then, you can go to an iPhone forum and post interesting questions!
Or, you can keep your phone and learn how it works by reading and playing with it???
The only thing I can suggest that you install on it is a search application. MSN and Google make one that is easy to install and you can find the Google App here:
http://www.google.com/mobile/
anyone know how to get the live search, search function on the htc home screen for the tilt? i have live search(the newest update) and don't see an option for it. thx.
Wouldn't that be in Start-Settings-Personal-Today-Items Tab?
Please see my sig.
nope, doesn't show up there, already looked. and regardless of your sig, it's a message board, i'll post what ever i want.
Yeah, I was going from memory. Sorry about that. Actually I am correct but the program has to be installed in a specific way.
In spite of you posting whatever you want, some day you may post something that someone objects to a lot more than I would. Then you may not be posting at all. My sig is to remind people to always search first.
Now, if you do a Google search you will find the answer to your question. Or you could sit on your a$$ and wait for someone to eventually, maybe, answer your question for you. But don't hold your breath.
Anyone knows if there's an app that works with aHome, like bettercut/anycut?
and yes I did use the Search function.
Thanks
I guess it's a no then
I know bettercut doesn't and wont, they dont wanna help out the competition.
Anycut works for me
I do not think you need it. Just click on the menu button and add the app or whatever else you want. Then just press and hold down the icon and you can either delete or rename. Unless you are trying to do something else?
Bettercut and Anycut don't work for me with aHome. When I try to create a direct call shortcut it creates one in the native android home screens but not the ahome screens....I wonder if this is what the OP is talking about.
Yes, I want to make a few direct calls on the main screen with aHome, and Anycut/Better cut don't work.
You need to download Any Cut - Open Home Edition (free) for direct calls to work on aHome. I just made one right now that works perfectly fine.
BetterCut on the other hand doesn't work no matter what I do.
I use anycut with ahome...it works just fine
Longpress > Shortcuts > Anycut
You...just cant use bettercut. Its kind of sad that android developers are not in the same mindset as the general Linux community...seems they are in it only for themselves.

It works. Thanks
if they realized that they fixed bettercut to work with ahome they would make more money? uhm ahome has outsold open home by so much, there better off trying to make apps compatible with botth then try competing or they will lose money, be smart but there being dumb, i love ahome
ahome 5,000-10,000downloads
openhome cant find open home on market dunno why?!?!?!
and bettercut 1,000-5,000
lol just wanted to point that out

Open Home
Downloads
5,000-10,000
I am pretty sure that everyone has thrown the idea of porting WebOS over from the Palm Pre to our Android Devices is out of the question. But does anyone think that they could build an alternative home application that would function like the Palm Pre's home with cards and such? Just an idea.
EDIT: Sorry, just noticed that there an actual thread you are supposed to post your ideas in. If you want to delete this and move it be my guest I didn't mean to post in the wrong area. Although I doubt anyone will actually find this in that thread.
